Armed & Executive Protection Services Expand in Central Florida

Davenport Security Firm Grows Executive Protection and Armed Guard Services Across Florida

Davenport, United States – May 6, 2026 / Universal Protection Management /

Universal Protection Management, operating as upmsecurity.com, has formally announced the expansion of its executive protection and armed security operations across Orlando and Central Florida, marking a deliberate push into new service territories from its headquarters at 1133 Cascades Ave, Davenport, FL 33837. The move follows sustained client growth in the region and positions the company as a structured security operation serving both residential and commercial markets throughout the state.

Expansion Driven by Regional Client Demand

Universal Protection Management built its foundation in armed security Davenport before extending its reach into the broader Orlando metro area and surrounding Central Florida counties. The company holds a Florida Class B Security License issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), the state-mandated credential required for providing armed security personnel and professional guard services in Florida. That license underpins every deployment the company executes across its expanding service footprint.

The team is composed of trained veterans and former law enforcement professionals, a staffing model the company has maintained since its founding. This background informs how personnel are selected, trained, and deployed, particularly for assignments that carry elevated risk profiles.

Flagship Services and Operational Scope

At the center of the expansion are three core service lines: executive protection Florida operations, armed security deployments, and formal risk assessments. Executive protection services are structured for high-profile individuals, corporate principals, and visiting dignitaries who require trained personnel capable of threat identification, route planning, and close-protection protocols.

Armed security assignments span a range of environments, from commercial properties and gated communities to construction sites and retail operations. Risk assessments, conducted before client engagements, allow Universal Protection Management to evaluate site vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate security postures rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Beyond those flagship offerings, UPM Security also provides event security coordination, vehicle patrol services, workplace violence prevention planning, and emergency response support. These services are structured to complement the core armed and executive offerings, giving clients access to a broader security infrastructure under a single Florida licensed security company.

Leadership Perspective on Florida Safety Standards

“Our expansion into Orlando and across Central Florida reflects a deliberate commitment to maintaining the same professional standards we established in Davenport – we currently hold a Florida Class B FDACS license and deploy personnel with verified law enforcement and military backgrounds on every contract,” said Alex Polazzo, Founder of Universal Protection Management. “Every market we enter, we enter with the same accountability.”

Polazzo founded the company with the intent of staffing only from candidates with verifiable professional backgrounds, a policy that has shaped how UPM Security recruits and vets its personnel ahead of each client engagement.
